several years with rheumatism and grew

much work ever" These are proofs of the
perfection of the remedy, and taken in con-
nection with the miracles performed in other
cases, it has no equal.

who are the ssBig Four ?''

The "Big Four" Of New Orleans. COM
posed Of Messrs. Fitzpatrick, Mealy,
Dayey and Duffy, are being roundly
abused by the bowling ring mob and
viified without stint. To the unsophis-
ticated ruralist these men are made to
appear in the role Of thieves. robbers and
low down individuals, and the possibility
that they are halfway respectable at
home is lost sight Of altogether. The
most Of this abuse comes from petty ink
singers who know nothing at all about
the men, and is winked at for the sake Of
political capital by the city editors who
know great deal better. When theil
true standing in New Orleans is under
stood throughout the State all this silly
and malicious twaddle will become Z
regular boomerang to the utterers Lee
us know who and what the big Four
are, and what they have been. 40

Gathering Campaign Thunder,

LID 70
Hon. Leon Jastremski, editor of the
Capitolian-Advocate,h has addressed let
ter to the presidents Of the police juries
of the various parishes, asking that they
forward to him information relating to
~such improvements as may have been
made in your parish in recent years"
Now, such statistics as these are eminent
ly the property Of the people, and fit
subject for the enterprising Journalist to
cumulate; but it is the reading "between
the lines" as it were, that we wish to
comment upon. Gen. Jastrems6 naively
intimates in the outset of his circular
that this information is wanted with the
view of exhibiting the improved condi-
ton Of the various parishes, owing to the
wise management of their affairs by the
police juries appointed by Gov. s. d.
McEnery," which will assist in the COM
pletion Of an exhibit that will be Of great
benefit to the reputation Of the State at
home and abroad" OF course, Of course;
and. il the reader viii add that such an
exhibit is wanted chiefly a. campaign
document in the approaching canvass, nc
violence viii be done to the true intent
and meaning Of the circular.
Taking it for granted that this latter
unexpressed but fairly to be inferred
object is had in view by the writer, VI
shall now proceed to show how futile, un
fair and unjust it is to put the improve
ments and progress Of the seven years O
peace and plenty Of the present admin
istration against the two years of strif'
and turmoil in which quiet and orde
were brought out Of disorder by the wis
and statesmanlike administration Of Gov
Nichols, to whom the present peaceful
state Of affairs is more to be attributes
than any other living citizen of Louisiana

The floating debt of the State Of Lou
isiana is figured out by the City Item to
be $14,854.582 II we recollect Alright
the floating debt of the State in 1879 was,
in round figures, about twelve millions Of
dollars. It now becomes matter Of some
speculation as to how much the State has
been benefited by this two million dollars
increase of indebtedness. In view of the
fact that the material and financial inter-
ests Of the State have advanced wonder
fully within the past seven years, it seems
that her revenues should have met cur
rent expenses. and instead Of increasing
her debt should have been diminished.

HIGGINS, MARYLAND.

MARYLAND, the home of German and Hig-
gins. is perhaps the last place in which one
would expect to find independent Democrats,
vet they are there, as the appearance and re-
marks of Mr. John K. Cowan at the Rspub-
lican convention in Baltimore show
Mr. Cowan has evidently been an observ
ing Democrat He has observed that the
Maryland Democrats are bad lot He said:
'sThey declare themselves in favor of reform
ing the election laws. Why, they have been
saying that for twelve years. There has
neversbeen contested election since 1875 in
which the regulars have not been defeated,
and the opposition was elected but counted
out It was Mr.. German who engineered
the lootiug of the ballot boxes, with Mr.. Raj
sin, his lieutenant. It was Mr.. German who
brought Mr.. Eugene Higgins to Howard
county to forge the ballots" Mr.. Cewan
says he is not child to rely on their prom
ises of election law reforms. awe have
been fed - he says, 'swith the east wind of
broken promises long enough. They have
now got to resume specie payment. They
have taken the very people who have COM
mitted these frauds and put them into Office
How can We believe the professions of this
convention when these very men sat in that
convention and asseuted TO the professions of
reform who had just previously manipulated
the primaries I believe in party response
bility. I believe the way to reform party
is to reform it with club. I do not believe
in any rosewater business"
Rosewater for such Democrats as Higgins
would indeed be funny. Mr.. Cowan's tender
of his own support and that of the other in
dependent Democrats of Maryland to the
Republican ticket appears to mean some
thing. He is q leading lawyer and man of
influence. He does not hesitate to assert
that with the help of tbs independent Demo
crats the Republicans can carry Baltimore,
and he declares that in one ward there are
six hundred Independent Democratic voters
pledged TO support the Republican ticket,
We shall see.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The learned DR.. Hovey, president of the
Newton Theological Institute, is eminently
qualified to give us the truth on points of
temperance discussion, being fully in SYM
pathy with active temperance work and fully
resolved to base his temperance zeal on truth
only. His two articles which have appeared
in the Baptist Quarterly Review dealing with
the two-wine theory and the notion that
Christ gave to his disciples unfermented
srape--juice in the cup of the Supper have
been issued in ten cent pamphlets, and should
be purchased by everyone who desires to
read a calm and faithful exhibition of evi-
dence on these topics Il is to be honed that
our book and periodical dealers will not fail
